Hamas senior official Musa Abu Marzuk abruptly ended an interview with Al-Rad from Egypt on October 10th, 2025, between 7:39 PM and 8:39 PM UTC, after being pressed about the October 7th hostage releases. The presenter stated the questions reflected the concerns of the Palestinian public. Abu Marzuk, described as "furiously abandoned" by the source, stated the presenter's questions were not representative of the "street" and declared he did not wish to continue the interview. The incident, as reported via a tweet linking to a Telegram channel, has been interpreted as revealing Hamas's "mentality" and "escape from answers" regarding the events of October 7th. This development occurs amid ongoing efforts related to hostage releases following a ceasefire brokered by President Donald Trump, which took effect at 12:00 PM UTC on October 10th, 2025. The ceasefire includes a 72-hour period for hostage release. The Global Humanitarian Fund (GHF) announced on October 10th, 2025, that it had delivered nearly one million meals, bringing its total distributed meals to over 185 million. The GHF has also announced the cessation of its operations in Rafah and Khan Yunis starting the night of October 10th, 2025. Separately, sporadic gunfire was reported in Beit Lahia on October 10th, 2025, with activists urging residents to avoid the area until the complete withdrawal of occupation vehicles, expected by the morning of October 11th, 2025. Armed clashes between the Daghmash family and Hamas militias occurred in Gaza City's Al-Sabra neighborhood between 3:09 PM and 4:09 PM UTC on October 10th, 2025, resulting in seven Hamas Sahm Unit member deaths, according to reports from Ihab Hassane. Israel is establishing an international transfer mechanism through the UN Fund to monitor foreign aid in the Gaza Strip, according to an N12 report on October 10th, 2025. President Donald Trump is also planning to convene a summit in Egypt next week to discuss Gaza, according to Axios and Barak Ravid. The White House and the Netanyahu bureau have expressed support for these peace initiatives. The IDF reportedly completed its withdrawal from Gaza City by 7:00 AM UTC on October 10th, 2025, with United States Central Command (CentCom) confirming the first phase of retreat along the agreed "yellow line" at noon local time the same day.
